..for me tea as a meal would be something like sandwiches/cakes etc and if it's a hot meal it would be dinner...I think also it's a bit of a regional thing and some people call their evening meal tea and some call it dinner....

..mine would be...

breakfast
lunch
dinner

Supper is what you have to eat about 8/9pm like a bit of toast and tea or roasted cheese or something light like that

Supper (a sandwich, noodles or something else light at night)

No roasted cheese, but that's a whole other thread.

In fact we had one before.

Cheese on toast or 'roasted cheese' (lmao) is overrated anyway, grilled cheeses too

I have breakfast at 12-1pm (wake up at 10amish) lunch at 4pm and dinner at 8pm, that's how people in my culture do it and it keeps you full throughout the day and helps stop you from snacking. No need for 'brunch' or 'supper'. I honestly couldn't imagine having my last meal at 4/5ish... that's like 6 hours of not eating anything substantial for the rest of the night

but on school days I eat breakfast at 7am/lunch at midday/snack or something small when I come home/dinner at eight

Have always called the main evening meal tea, normally with things like this theres some kind of geographical trend but with this it just seems random whether people do or dont

Also at roasted cheese

I say lunch but at school if I was having hot food from the canteen then that was a school dinner but if I was bringing my own lunch then that was a packed lunch... neither of which mattered when we were 14 (third year) because then we were allowed out into town for lunch

I thought this thread meant do you substitute a cup of tea for a meal?

Whereas most people say:

Of course, even more confusing is that we still say "Sunday dinner" for a roast dinner.
So we can have a Sunday dinner on a Monday...as we are this evening.

Tea is a drink for me. I never call my dinner tea.

To me it's just a drink.. Main meal if the day is called dinner..

... Although if I went for afternoon tea I'd expect tea with sandwiches, scones and treats.
